Chess.com bot issue if playing black

Hello

After the first move the game crashes whichever bot i choose, if i am playing black after the first move and i have to resign to get out of the game.

Works fine if I am white.

Any help appreciated!

Fix is on the way for black bot play

Thanks.

I cant update my username or surname in my profile

The game history doesnt record games after the first one

I cant turn on notifications on my phone for the app (android)

Cheers

hi, is this fixed?

If you are asking about playing as black - that should work.

If you are asking about bot games being saved, that is waiting on Chess.com to make a system wide change which we expect in the next 1~2 months.

This is good to know, thank you. I was bummed when I beat one of the Valentine bots on my ChessUp2 and it didn’t save to my ChessCom profile.

Playing against chess com bots as black (or random select) still doesn’t work.

It used to stop working after white makes the first move, but now it seems white doesn’t even make the first move.

Oh and when I resign to end the game (since it’s stuck), it says I win.

What is your chess.com username? We can look into it.

I had the same problem yesterday evening.

Programming team looking into it now.

Any update on this fix?
I can’t play against chess.com bots when starting as black.
Either it hangs on connecting or bot white move is registered, but my first move as black not.

Must be an unusual/intermittent issue as I have not experienced this.

Actually in my case it is very consistent.
I can’t play chess.com bots (me as a black) when using ChessUp 2.
When I pick white everything is fine. Chess.com play with other players also works for both sides
Those are the results I end up with, need to resign, because I can’t make valid first move.
